"I asked you to do statistics before, did you do it?"

After Liu Zheng finished speaking, the old craftsman Xu of Xiema Village stood up, he is the head of all the craftsmen, and he is also the old man of Xiema Village, whether it is the craftsmen or those villagers among the victims, they are all headed by the old craftsman Xu, Liu Zheng asked, naturally he replied on behalf of everyone.

"Back to the owner, it has been counted, and now there are 133 craftsman households, including 19 blacksmiths, 32 carpenters, 21 weavers, and 61 masons and potters!"

"There are too many old, weak, sick and disabled people in various townships, and the owner of the village did not set a standard at the beginning, so there are about 900 households!"

When he heard that there were more than 900 homes for the old and weak, Liu Zheng stroked his forehead, which was too much: "Did you bring the list of statistics?" Is there a detailed record of the size of the family? ”

Old craftsman Xu turned his head to look at an old villager beside him, the old villager stood up tremblingly, and then slowly knelt down, Liu Zheng's eyes glared out, this is so special to die, a spirit stood up from the chair, and then ran around the handsome tent in a panic to the old man, and picked the old man up.

"Old man, I can't afford it, I can't afford it, I'm just an afterlife, I have to die like this!"

The old man's eyes were red, and he patted Liu Zheng's hand lightly and said: "When, deserve, the owner of the village is a real person, with a great heart, if it is not the owner, I will wait, I will be hungry and starve to death, in this ice and snow, I have discussed it, and when I settle down, I will definitely offer the immortal tablet to the owner!" ”

Liu Zheng secretly wiped his sweat, although it was an immortal tablet for his benefactor, why did he feel so awkward? It always feels like I'm dead!

"You old man, sit down and take a breath first, and speak slowly, don't be in a hurry!" Helping the old man to the seat and sitting down, Liu Zheng called someone to hand over a chair and sat down in front of the old man.

This move almost made the old man stand up, but fortunately, Liu Zheng was quick and pressed the old man to his seat.

"Sit and say, it doesn't matter, sit and say! Just treat me as a junior! What kind of salute are you going to do, then we won't be able to talk tonight! ”

The old man sat down and rested for a while before he took out a stack of paper from his sleeve, handed it to Liu Zheng, and said: "This, here, there are detailed records, there are several people in the family, and how many acres of land there are in the original family, all of which are recorded." ”

Liu Zheng looked at it, the actual record is indeed very detailed, and it can be seen that this old man is very attentive, the head of each household, son, daughter-in-law, daughter, grandson, granddaughter-in-law, granddaughter, how many acres of land there is in the house, whether it is on the field or under the field are recorded in great detail.

After a brief look at the side, Liu Zheng turned around and sat down behind the handsome case, picked up the pen, and selected all the adult men in the family, and after all the selections were completed, he got up and sat down on the chair in front of the old man, and handed the list back to the old man!

"Old man, let's follow this list tomorrow, let the family live in without adult men first, and wait for the second batch, the second batch is also very fast, now we have more people, this house can be built in a few days, and now it has just entered Sanjiu, the weather is not very cold, and you can deal with it if you live in a grass shed!"

The old man's cloudy eyes moistened suddenly, and he got up and saluted Liu Zheng: "Old, old, thank the owner on their behalf, the owner's great kindness, I will never forget!" ”

Turning the day, the winter solstice has arrived, the sky is overcast, and the people who are blowing in the cold northwest wind are shrinking their necks, but the hearts of these disaster victims and displaced people outside the city are warm and tight, and a huge red paper list has their names written on it, which means that these people will live in the brand-new red brick house.

The house, after it was built, they all saw it, not only was it spacious and bright, but there were ready-made furniture, not only that, but also the hot earthen kang that everyone envied, the plated earthen kang was put into the firewood yesterday and burned, and now as long as you enter the house, you can be warm, and you don't want to come out again.

There is an old boy who has read a book, and he uses his broken gong voice to read out the names one by one on the red list, and every time a name is pronounced, it attracts a burst of cheers.

After reciting the more than 400 names on this list, it took nearly an hour for the houses to cheer loudly, and the houses that were not allocated were not half resentful, because they knew that these people who were assigned to the houses, except for the craftsmen with skills, were all poor households in various villages.

The most important thing is that they see hope, the hope of life, and a bright future that they didn't dare to think of before.

There are no firecrackers to congratulate, but there are big drums, stages, Yangge, which set off the atmosphere of this small world, from time to time some people laugh, from time to time there are also people crying silently, but whether it is crying or laughing silently, the heart is warm.

At noon, when the hot white-flour steamed buns were delivered to everyone one by one, a name exploded in this small world: "Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng......"

This shout represents their inner gratitude, respect, and admiration, and represents that they have started a new life.

This call made everyone in Liu Zheng's big tent, whether they were heroes in the rivers and lakes or heroes in the green forest, feel that their lives have been sublimated, they have also helped the poor and helped the people who can't survive, but they have never seen such a scene today, nor are they as warm as they are now.

At this moment, no matter who it is, they clearly feel the strangeness that wells up in their hearts, this strangeness is a part of the happiness that makes the body float up, and it is a part of the pride of knocking on the door of the heart.

Liu Zheng smiled and looked at everyone: "How is it, how do you feel?" ”

Everyone laughed, and Yuboda, the fool, smiled and patted his chest: "Eh, Eh, I'm happy, I'm really happy, I've never been so happy before, Eh, I can't say, but I know, I helped them, they are really grateful, E, E, it's very ......."

"It's very ......" You Boda didn't know how to express it, so he scratched his head vigorously and said to Wei Boyuan: "Old man, what's the matter, you, you help me say ......"

"Hahaha......" Yuboda's words caused a friendly whisper from everyone.

Wei Boyuan's mind was a little confused at this time, he had doubted whether he was right to help Liu Zheng before, but when this sincere shout came into his ears, that doubt disappeared all of a sudden, and then he felt a little ashamed in his heart, and felt that he should not doubt Liu Zheng's intentions.

At this time, Yu Boda's words interrupted his thoughts, and looking at Yu Boda's scratching of his ears and cheeks, Wei Boyuan suddenly laughed: "You, you fool, proud, very proud, right!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Yu Boda smiled happily: "It's just pride, or the old man is knowledgeable!" ”

Liu Zheng said playfully: "You can also be knowledgeable, when you settle down, find a gentleman to teach you to read and write!" ”

Yu Boda's face turned green, and he shook his head desperately: "Don't, don't, ask Mr. to learn to read, it's better to kill him with a knife!" Don't suffer that sin! ”

Yuboda's words caused everyone to laugh again, and after laughing, everyone gradually calmed down.

Liu Zheng slowly glanced at everyone in the tent, and now there are only a few people who are really regarded by him as his own, Zhou Yun, Hu Dongyuan, Qin Haiqing, Zeng Kaiyu, Zuo Yunfeng, this is the real person himself, Zhou Yun is his own sworn brother, Hu Dongyuan and Qin Haiqing are the chief dart masters of the dart bureau, Zeng Kaiyu and Zuo Yunfeng are subdued by themselves, in addition to the rest of the people in the account are Wei Boyuan, the old man Wei, the fool You Boda, the double knife Xu Wenxu, and the overlord gun Chu Yuanzhong.

Liu Zheng understands that Old Man Wei always wants to part ways with him, and Old Man Wei has made it clear that he can help him, but he will never be an enemy of the imperial court.

Yu Boda, don't look at the goods, but his deep respect for Old Man Wei made Liu Zheng feel a little more scruples, he didn't know how this You Boda would choose when Old Man Wei and himself stood on opposite sides in the future.

Xu Wenxu and Chu Yuanzhong are just friends of Hu and Qin, and they came here because Liu Zheng said that they wanted to let the poor people in the city have a way to live.

The rest of the villagers, Liu Zheng knew that they were just passers-by, and after robbing the grain of the seven Zhuangzi, these people were basically scattered, some of them went back and forth, and some continued to wander the world.

For Liu Zheng, these people are stronger than not going, if they really want them to participate in their own major affairs, they will inevitably have endless troubles, because they can't control their mouths, they pour down three or two wines, what they should say and what they shouldn't say, they have all been stabbed out in a braggadocio way, and now let them go Although it is also a big hidden danger, Liu Zheng can still suppress this hidden danger!

"Now these victims outside the city will be resettled one after another, but the resettlement does not mean that everything is fine, and they have to find a way out to make a living, most of the land outside the city of Qingzhou is in the hands of those bigwigs in the city, and a small part is in the hands of those poor villagers in various villages and villages, some of these people are called disaster victims, and some people can barely survive, we naturally can't take their fields!"

Speaking of this, Liu Zheng said with a fierce glint in his eyes: "There are still many officials and masters in the city who are free, and there are also many people who are rich and unkind to the old men who eat and drink spicy, hum, is the knife in my Liu Zheng's hand fake?" ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Liu Zheng's eyes glanced at Xu and Chu, and a trace of hesitation flashed in the eyes of these two people, which confirmed what Liu Zheng thought, but he also understood these two people, after all, both of them have families and businesses, and now in this year of continuous famine, it is already very righteous to be able to leave their families to help themselves.

You Boda doesn't have so many estimates, in his heart, the outsiders are all rich and unkind, and the officials are all dog officials who oppress the people, so he shouted at the moment: "Owner, you say, what do you do, listen to you, the most hated is these bullshit outsiders and those officials, these people deserve to die, none of them treat the poor as people!" ”
